#17831 invalid Unable to easily move vitrtual machine files awesome14
Description

Virtualbox is way behind the scenes in comparison to VMware Workstation, which has always permitted VMs to be freely and easily moved and copied by just moving or copying the related files.

Virtualbox creates a fiasco over what should be a simple operation. There is no reason the path to the virtual machine files needs to be constant, and that the machine should fail if it changes. A notification would be sufficient.

In my case, I had to reactivate Windows 7 and create a new user. And my user-installed programs vanished! There is no reason the guest should even be aware the VM-related files have been moved!

Virtualbox fails if the path to the VM-related files changes, because the UUIDs remain the same. Even if the original path no longer exists, it fails! Again, this serves no good purpose. It just makes life more difficult. A notification would be sufficient.

There is also no reason the machine should fail if it can't find a shared directory. A warning would be sufficient.

Virtualbox fails on so many inconsequential things it seems senseless. The VMs should be portable; totally self-contained! The rigmarole serves no purpose but to make things difficult, and perhaps to generate the need for paid support!

But if the latter is the case, we might as well use VMware!

#17829 invalid Issue with Windows update CMienie
Description

My Qiime enjin does not start in VirtualBox. It was working fine before a Windows update that ran on 14/15 June. I have tried the following: Reinstalled the VirtualBox (latest edition). Upgraded Windows Home edition to Windows Pro. Uninstalled and reinstalled VirtualBox several times. Restored Windows to a previous restore point on suggestion from a Microsoft technician and uninstalled VirtualBox again. Ran CCleaner and reinstalled VirtualBox. Is there anything I can try without reformatting my laptop? Please help.

#17827 invalid With linux 4.17 and VirtualBox 5.2.12, vboxguest must be blacklisted -> works with 4.17.4 FredBezies
Description

I'm using VirtualBox 5.2.12 on my Archlinux host.

I noticed that linux guest distributions - at least Archlinux based ones - with a desktop environment are broken with a kernel 4.17.x.

Mouse focus is not shown and you cannot grab any opened window. I saw this on pure Archlinux with KDE, SwagArch with Xfce.

When moving to 4.14 LTS kernel, everything works back.

I found this thread on virtualbox.org with the same problem: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=88372

I tried to blacklist vboxguest module while running linux 4.17.x, and everything works again.

Looks like vboxguest code is not 100% compatible with linux 4.17.x.
